    In basic training those who hadn't learned yet would sometimes carry their rifles by sight bridge/rail and the drill sergeant would promptly smoke the poor guy in the dust until he fully understood that it was not a handle and he would never again carry his rifle by it again!
    However i understand civilian life is much different.
    But you would never ever see an actual soldier carrying it with that.
    Great video, great content ty.

    I have two bushmasters, they are very old and bought them when bushmaster was a private company early in their business life. Both guns are exceptional, never had an issue with thousands of rounds through them. I actually used one of them on duty as an LEO. Don’t know their quality now that it’s owned by a corporation. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    I'd take the bushmaster. it has a 4150 barrel steel and it's chrome lined unlike the m&p sport. and bushmasters are starting to ship out with full auto profile bolt carriers.

  • @thefoxdoctor1072
    @thefoxdoctor1072 7 лет назад +34

    both are great guns but my preference is still the M&P 15 Sport 2. Granted yes, the Bushmaster has a Chrome-lined barrell but I've seen numerous videos and read about the comparisons between malonite and CL and the Malonite held it's own in every test. Granted if your in Afghanistan and you will be shooting 5,000+ then yes, the chrome-lined but for civilians, the Malonite is perfect. Yes, I own the M&P and it has been flawless for me

      After watching your video's I've been upgrading my m&p 15 sport 2 and yesterday I received my m16 bolt carrier So now my sport 2 has a chrome lined m16 bolt carrier group. I will say this, I love my s&w but now I'm finished with her so it's time for a new toy and I think I'm leaning towards the Bushmaster m4a3 since watching your video's plus I really like the look of the heavier barrel with the cut out or government profile plus the carry handle. I was going to ad a CH to the sport 2 but I figured it would be a waste of $$$ so why not just purchase one with a carry handle. I believe Stag m400 has a carry handle along with Wyndham weaponry but I like that bushmaster so I that will be my next purchase. Thank you for all the great info brother....

      I have ran the bushmaster m4a2 I loved it because that's an open site rifle with a 11 ish moa Front sight I can only guess at the moa I think it in the ball park of 1.25 moa
      Because at 30yd's I can do 3shot groups with all the holes very Close to touching on 62gr penetrators

    I'm Late To The Game Viewing This Video. After Seeing IV8888's Meltdown Of The S&W M&P 15 Sport II, It Truly Dispells These Types Of Comparisons! If You Haven't Seen It, I Suggest You Check It Out! To Date, Nothing In The M&P 15's Price Range Has Lasted As Many Full Auto Rounds As The M&P 15 Sport II (820 Continuous Rounds With The Plastic Handguard On Fire For A Good Portion Of Those Rounds/4140 Steel Barrel!). In Conclusion, The M&P 15 Sport II Kicks Ass Over Many Of These More Expensive So Called Better Rifles. If They're Better, I'd Definitely Like To See The Proof! Anything Else Is Just A Plain Old Opinion! I Appreciate Your Time And Effort Making This Video! Cheers To You!

    • @CRSFirearms
      @CRSFirearms  6 лет назад +5

      Iv8888 did not meltdown a s&w because not one part from a s&w will work with full auto bcg lower every thing
      What he did do is meltdown the barrel and hand guards and the barrel did okay not crazy good but okay and the hand guards failed as far as the rest of the rifle who knows
      As far as the bushmaster being better the real difference lies in the barrel and it is in every way
      4140 vs 4150cmv
      Nitrate vs Crome lined
      Even the protective coating melonight vs parked
      Its like this maybe a Honda Civic sedan can go 820 mil’s and that all it takes to sell you the car
      but for me I am still picking the civic type R because there simply constructed better
      Did you know lucker gunner 2 bushmaster’s to over 5k and 1 to 10k

      I Totally Agree With Everything You've Written. I Was Basically Trying To Convey That The M&P Sport II Will Hold Its Own Against Most Of These Higher Priced AR15's. I'm Certain If Smith & Wesson Added A Full Auto BCG, It Would Be Of High Quality. I Appreciate You Introducing Us To AR15's That We Usually Don't Get To See And Get Specs On. Keep Up The Great Work, You Rock!

    • @CRSFirearms
      @CRSFirearms  6 лет назад +2

      Not a problem
      And it will hold its own
      Out of all the cheaper A.R. 15‘s we get in core del-ton etc. etc.
      The m&p has been Assembled and shipped with no blames on any of rifles we have got in so far
      I had to put that in about ir8888
      Most people just don’t understand the only thing on that rifle he shot that was m&p is The barrel the handguard maybe the upper receiver housing because m&p designs the rifle so none of the parts are full auto compatible
      I’m pretty sure they even put a stainless steel gas tube on it so it would make it to the point where it melts down

    I was the Chief of my old police department and I am a shooter. I bought Bushmasters for my PD. I retired and became a school resource officer for my retirement PD. They got a deal on Smith's to replace the old Colts. They had faith in the Colts. The Smiths aren't Colts. The Smiths aren't Bushmasters. They are okay but they are civilian guns with trendy fittings. A stock M4 or HBAR is the way to go for SHTF.

    Bushmaster. Same reason I got my Del-Tons over the Smith. Its mil spec. Not proprietary. Also I wanted a HBar mid length, not a standard barrel carbine length. Having said that, my family all have Smiths and the Smith is a good rifle but it is not what I want in an M4. I run a carry handle iron sights on my Del-Ton M4 also rather than an optic. I have a Primary Arms 5x Prism ACSS reticle optic (it has a built in range finder in the reticle) that I can drop on the M4 rail anytime I want but I prefer the carry handle with the BDC dial to the optic.

      @@CRSFirearms Have not shot a Radical but if its truly mil spec then it should run. DPMS seems to run about the same but some of the parts are cheaper and they cut corners on their cheapest AR so it won't have as long of life as others. Let me ask you a question. Would a company claiming that its AR is mil spec but cuts corners with cheaper parts that really are not mil spec (out of spec), is that AR really mil spec? I think not. BCA might be in the same camp. I have seen video of some that turned out good and others that did not. At least with Del-Ton, PSA, Windham, Bushmaster, Anderson, Rock River Arms, among some others you pretty much know you are getting true mil spec because they give you the specs up front.

I've always thought it was a good rifle. It's my one and only but I chose it out of 6-7 others, including a Colt for $200 more, which is how I should have gone since I changed out all of the furniture for a added price of $125 but hell, I probably would have changed the colt furniture as well. It was just an ugly flat top. Just what I needed.

    M&P is a half assed attempt at an M4 carbine while the A3 is virtually milspec - Hence "A3" in the name. Now if you don't care about all that then the M&P is a fine AR for the price, However anyone considering picking one up for the savings I implore you to look at the Ruger AR556, I owned both (still have Ruger) and I'm telling you the Ruger edges the M&P all around. Now concerning the Bushmaster A3. If you want to go ultra Military classic they offer a Bushmaster M4A2 with the built in carry handle and it is A sweet fkn AR and the prices on these cannot be beat for what you get.

    I own both. I paid $900 for a Bushmaster A3M4 in 2004 and I paid $459 for a S&W MP15 sport 3 with a rifle bad and magazine loader ($100 for both included in the $459). For the price and performance I'll take the S&W MP 15 sport 2. It took 840 rounds to melt down the barrel and only because the plastic handguard caught fire and caused an issue with the gas block and gas tube. The colt has 40years behind the M4 and cost around $1900. How does the barrel melt down compare. 840 rounds for $459 plus bag and magazine loader. You can only build M4 so cheap and still out perform the competition. Check out the RUclips videos before buying your M4. Unless you have a ton of money and don't care where your dollars go. The Bushmaster is also outstanding at $900.

    I would pick Bush master why because in my opinion it better made and it proven it self more over Smith. I had a Smith sport 2 it was ok but did not feel the quality like bet my life with it. Had an older Bush master before had no issues well built I know Remington took the Bush master over but they still seam like they made well. People talk crap on them but I wouldn't stop you from buying one check it out for your self. People tend to be ar snobs. It has to be bcm or some fancy gun. No it don't just make sure everything is made to spec you be fine. I had bcm rifle it shot a little smother but you can make any ar15 do that my bcm after time still got the space problem between the upper and lower. I ended up selling my bcm needed money and that was only thing worth anything at the time. Looking for another ar15 not going to get a high end fancy one I'm just going to go colt or Bush master if I want to make it a little better all I got to do is buy the parts and upgrade it not little by little not a big deal.

      After you have achieved your mechanical zero you zero your firearm by making small corrections with your front pin and your windage and up zeroing you at 25 m which will get you very close at 300 m
      Then you go to 300 m and adjust and confirm your zero after you of achieve this
      You were zeroed for 25 and 300 m
      Know if you flip to the big aperture you are zeroed for 200 m
      Now if you flip to the small aperture you are zeroed for 300 400 500 600 and on some rifles 7 and 800 m which those zeros are marked out on your bottom drum
      So with a quick flip of the site from big to small aperture or a span of your drum your point of aim point of impact at any range

    Most of your opinions in this video are about the stock features of the guns. If you're getting an AR15, you should be planning on modding it anyway. And for that, you should go with the M&P Sport 2, and then buy cheap after market products to upgrade it over time.

    I worked in a machine shop that made gun parts for the military for nearly two decades, and at the time (1970's-1990's), a lot of the parts I machined were made of 4140, which was specified on the prints. As a civilian who owns the S&W M&P 15 Sport II, I am not concerned at all about 4140 barrel material and its surface treatment, whether it be called Nitride, Melonite or Armonite. Suffice it to say that the purported cost difference of plus 3% more for 4150 steel for the manufacturer, plus the extra cost of a chrome lined barrel would not justify me spending the extra $100 cost of one particular AR rifle over the M&P. Unless you plan on going to war and shooting thousands of rounds, the average shooter will never know, see nor be able to measure the difference in quality and reliability. To put it plainly, I bought the M&P because of price and acceptable quality. Knowing the barrel material is the same as I used to machine for military gun parts gives me one less concern about M&P barrel quality. Let me ask anyone... how many of you out there have purchased weapons in the past, such as deer rifles, 30-30's or other rifles of higher caliber and have ever asked what the barrels and other parts were made from and the barrel treatments? And how many of those same weapons do you still have that are still working as designed? I would wager most if not all are still operating. So do you know what the barrel material of any of your older weapons is? Chances are you don't. That is my point. Oftentimes, five percent more quality (real or perceived) could well cost you fifty percent more in price.

    • @CRSFirearms
      @CRSFirearms  6 лет назад +1

      I go for maximum quality because I’m not convinced in the future I will be able to purchase them and I’d like to be able to pass it down because it gets shot so much more than my other firearms 3030s etc. i’m more concerned about the quality of materials used in manufacturing

Nitride has been proven to be more durable and accurate.. Thats the what experts are saying anyway. Now if its me buying, Im looking for nitride or melonite. I actually watched a vid that showed both processes. The nitride changes the chemical compounds of the metal.. Chrome is just a lining.. Old school vs new school.. I pick nitride

    • @CRSFirearms
      @CRSFirearms  5 лет назад +3

      Good question
      So what is the point Of nitride ?
      To offer something similar and Strength cheaper and more environmentally friendly easier to apply
      IF I can get the barrel for a marginally cheaper price then yes I will look at it but typically it’s similar priced and it’s made out of a lesser steel 4140 instead of 4150
      The idea is to get as close to 4150 cmv Chrome lined as possible at the cheapest possible price
      For example these two rifles that goal was missed they are way too close in price So if the price is even anywhere close I’m going to take the 4150 chrome lined barrel why give myself a lesser quality barrel at a similar price

Simply, press the stock against your chest by pushing fore grip in that direction - you will make an opposite force to your buffer and the pin will go out with little force, simply by pushing with your finger. Almost all Czech users know this old trick. Sorry for my English.
